If it is indeed Bonnie Brae, my Aunt Judy (Somero) and Uncle Clem Rauhala lived there at one time. I loved that place. They then moved away to Florida. Could never figure out why anyone would want to ever leave that property. The house was beyond perfect in my childish view.
I remember a family named Reed lived there, in the 1950's. They had a girl named Terri who was in my class. I believe they moved to the Portsmouth area and my dad would go over there to play golf with Mr. Reed
Ralph Parker was a wealthy stockbroker and a partner of Parker & Morse firm. Bonnie Brae was his summer home. In the early 1900s it was frequently rented to wealthy people from Boston. The Someros and Rauhalas were lucky to have lived in such a desirable place.
I also loved Bonnie Brae. The first house on the left when Temple Road splits with Stowell Road. My brothers and I played there as kids with our cousin Freddy Rauhala. The view was beautiful. They had a long front porch and a swing. Great childhood memories.

Was this the place called Bonnie Brae?
That's what came to my mind too, when I first saw it.
Marilyn Wight Aho, Richard Aho's wife lived here as a child with her family who were Scottish.

The Davis family, including a contemporary, Wayne Esty, moved there from 130 Main Street in the '60s. It had a lovely central hallway.
